In early days every church in New York had a graveyard connect- 
ed with the church building. In 1822 there were 23 graveyards below the 
City Hall, but nearly all have been broken up and covered with buildings. 

In 1813 all burials were prohibited below Canal Street. In 1851 a 
city ordinance prohibited any burials south of 86th Street, except in pri- 
vate vaults or cemeteries, and at the present time no interments are allow- 
on Manhattan Island. 

The Cemeteries around New York are so numerous, so beautiful and 
so dispersed, that an accurate guide to them has become a necessity. 

This book has been prepared to inform the resident and the stranger 
of the location, means of access and characteristics of the different Burial- 
places of the Metropolis. 

New York, July, 1881. 



Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1881, by S. C. Judson, in the office 
of the Librarian o( Congress at Washington. \,;*, \.. 



Office 266 Mulberry St. 

This old and well improved Cemetery is located in Newtown, Queens 
Count}'-, Long Island, about two miles from East 10th Street Ferrj, and is 
very convenient to New York. It is the piincipal Roman Catholic burying 
ground of New York and its suburbs, and about 400,000 bodies have been in- 
terred therein since it was opened. The grounds cover an area of something 
over 100 acres, and are divided into 10 sections and these sub-divided by 
avenues and roads for ready access. 

The Cemetery was laid out in August, 1848, and is on and around the 
crest of a hill, the naturallocation being such as to forever prevent its des- 
ecration. The appearance of Calvary is commanding and tasteful; there is 
a small wilderness of monuments, many of them being very choice and ex- 
pensive works of art. A soldiers monument erected by the city of New 
York in 1866 is a conspicuous feature. It is of granite, 45 feet high and sur- 
mounted by a bronze, life-size figure of ^'Patriotism.'' At the corners are four 
bronze figures, representing different branches of the service. The ground, 
comprising four full lots, was generously donated by the management of 
Calvary at the beginning of the Rebellion, that all Catholic soldiers who fell 
in that strife and whose remains were not otherwise provided for, might 
find rest. 

The Cemetery is laid out with uniformity and good judgment, and the 
excellent manner in Avhich it is kept is noticeable. Within the Cem- 
etery which is enclosed by an ornamental stone and iron fence, is a chapel, 
a chaplain's house and a superintendent's office. There are three imposing 
entrances. The Cemetery is owned by the Trustees of St. Patrick's (Cath- 
olic) Cathedral of New York. Hugh Moore is Superintendent. 

TO GO TO CALVARY. 

From Roosevelt, Grand and Houston street Ferries, take Grand Street 
car at Brooklyn terminus — fare five cents. Funei-als take 10th and 23d 
street Ferries and reach it via. Greenpoint Avenue. Ferries from James 
slip, 7lh and 34th streets connect with street cars at Hunters Point — tare 
seven cents ; funerals also go by either of the last named ferries. Calvary 
is well worth a visit. 

The Trustees of Calvary have lately purchased and laid out a new ceme- 
tery containing about 80 acres, near to but entirely separated from the old one.

This Cemetery is situated on Hart's Island which is under the jurisdic- 
tion of the Commissioners of Public Charities and Correction of the Citj of 
New York. 

It occupies about 20 acres of ground on the easterly side of the Island; 
the soil is of a sandy nature, lying low and level ; trees and shrubs are 
planted and good roads surround it. A receiving vault is on the grounds. 

The Cemetery was opened April 20, 1869, and up to June 30, 1881- 
3.5,073 bodies have been interred. 

Interments are made in conformity with a resolution of the Common 
Council dated June 10, 1874. Bodies are interred in Separate graves by 
special permission of the Commissioners. 

Disinterments are made for interment in private Cemeteries, by relatives 
of deceased persons, on Board of Health orders, end(n'sed by the Department 
of Public Charities and Correction. 

A separate plot for soldiers is also in the grounds, each body being- 
interred in a separate grave, marked by a neat stone, givmg the name and 
regiment in which the deceased served, as also age and date of death. 

A monument has been erected on the soldiers' plot by Eeno Post 44, 
G. A. R., who visit the Cemetery on "Decoration Day" of each year. 

The distance from New York is about 19 miles, and is reached by steam- 
boat from foot of East 26th Street at 10:30 A. M., daily. 

Passes to visit the Cemetery may be obtained from the Superintendent 
of Out-Door Poor, No. QQ Third Avenue.

Of the many burial places in the neighborhood of New York, Cypress 
Hills Cemetery is one of the most beautiful and attractive. It comprises 
nearly 400 acres, and is located on Long Island, partly in Kings and partly 
in Queens Counties. 

The Cenieteiy was dedicated November 21st. 1848, and by its charter is 
allowed to hold 500 acres of land. All of the Cemetery is laid out, and tive- 
eighths of ilie lots have been sold. Lots vary in price from |5 to !$300, and 
single interments may be obtained from $3 to $20, according to location and 
size of plot. 

Tlie grounds are irregular in shape, face the south, and the extreme 
length north and south is one mile. The main entrance is on the south side. 
There are two other entrances, one on the west and the other on the north 
side. Most funerals enter the west gate^ immediately within which is a 
tower whose bell is tolled as the procession passes. 

DISTANCE FEOM NEW YORK. 

Cypress Hills Cemetery is four and a half miles in a straight line from 
Fulton Fei-ry, but by the street car routes or roadways it is a ride of six 
miles from the East Kiver. Tne north gate is in a bee line directly east from 
Wall street. It is aboui a mile and three-eighths from the eastern boundary 
line of the city of Brooklyn, on the north side of the Brooklyn and Jamaica 
turnpike, and being l)ounded on the north by the Myi-tle Avenue Plank Koad, 
on the east by a high range of hills, on the south by the Brooklyn and Jamai 
ca turnpike, and on the west by the Williamsburg and Cypress Hills Macad- 
amized Road, it is geographically isolated and protected from all danger of 
invasion ov desecration for all time. 

HOW TO GO THERE. 

Take any »>f the following routes : 

South Ferry and Atlantic Avenue street cars to terminus : thence by 
steam cars to south entrance of Cemetery, fare 13 cents. 

Fulton Ferry, via. DeKalb, Myrtle or Fulton Avenue street cars to ter- 
minus; thence by steam cars to south entrance of Cemetery^ fare 8 cents. 



6 Cemeteries of Jfew TorJc. 

Koosevelt or Grand street ferries to foot of Broadway, Williamsburg, 
thence by Broadway cars to terminus and steam cars to main entrance, 
fare 8 cents. 

The Bush wick Ave. and South 4th st. cars run from Fulton ferry to 
west entrance of Cemetery, fare 8 cents. 

The most common route of funerals from New York is over G-rand 
street ferry and along Broad waj^ to the west entrance. 

Labor, care and money have made Cypress Hills Cemetery a pictur- 
esque and lovely place well worth visiting. It is made yp hills and dales, 
many considerable lakes and small bodies of water are interspersed, and 
there is a great deal of forest and shrubbery. The grounds are intersect- 
ed hy paths and avenues that run in curved lines. From the observatory 
on Mount Victory a eonmianding sweep of view, of unsurpassed variety 
and interest, is to be had ; the Atlantic ocean stretches away to the south, 
and the highlands of Neversink, the hills and plains of New Jersey, the 
cities of Brooklyn and New York, the Hudson with the Palisades for a 
background; the East river, Williamsburg, the hills of Connecticut, the 
village of Jamaica, the forests and rich fields of Long Ishmd make up the 
magnificent circling i^rospect. 

The property has been excellently and wisely managed. The annual 
income of the society is about $26,000, which is all expended in the care 
and improvement of the grounds and for necessary expenses. 

Cypress Hills Cemetery is the people's graveyard. Over 110,000 
interments have been made since it was thrown open, and this number 
does not include many thousand removals. Some fifty benvolent, social, 
ecclesiastical and humane societies own ground within its boundaries. 
Tlie Journalistic Fraternity, the Bank Clerk's Association, the Metropol- 
itan Police Board, many church societies of all denominations, and Ma- 
sonic and Odd Fellow organizations are among those who have acquired 
title to extensive plots of ground, and many of them have erected costly 
monuments. The XT. S. Government owns 200 lots, which are in charge 
of a resident keeper. Nearly 4,000 graves are in this soldiers' plot. 

Cypress Hills may be called a cemetery of cemeteries. Handsome 
vaults" are constantly being constructed, and many classic monuments are 
visible.

Of all New Yoi'k Cemeteries, Green-wood is the largest and most noted. 
Ill natural beauty, elaborate and finished improvements and costly ornament- 
ation, it is the first Cemetery in the United States. 

Some of the monuments cost a fortune and strangers take great pleasure 
iu visiting it. 

The conformation of the ground is varied and has been made doubly at- 
tractive in all ways that the highest cultivated taste, and unlimited means 
could suggest and accomplish. 

Its numerous avenues and paths form delightful drives and walks where 
cliauging scenes of rare beauty are continually presented. At one moment 
you are in a dell beside still waters ; at the next looking from a hill top at 
the Imperial City, the Bay, and beyond that, over the distant Ocean. 

Green-wood Cemetery was incorporated April 18, 1838, but did not com- 
mence operations until four years later. The grounds comprise 450 acres of 
land, piu'chased from 60 different owners. They are situated in the city of 
Ih'ooklyn, and in the town of Flatbush, cm Gowanus Heights, overlooking 
Gowanus Bay. Tliey are bounded on the Northwest by Fourth, Fifth and 
Seventh Avenues, on the Southeast by Foi't Hamilton Avenue in Flatbush, 
on the Northeast by 21st Street and Gravesend Avenue, and on the South- 
west by 36th and 37th Streets and Marten's Lane. 

The grandeur and elegance of Green-Avood cannot be conveyed in a de- 
scription — it must be seen. We present to the reader a few statistics and 
facts that will give an idea of the magnitude and character of this renowned 
'• Uity of the Dead." The total number of lots sold has been 24,000, and the 
total number of interments is 209,000, the first being September 5th 1840. 

The general '' Fund for the Improvement and Permanent Care of the 
Cemetery" is $650,000, which includes $74,000 deposited by lot owners in 
the hands of the Trustees, the interest of which is annually spent iu caring 
for and improving priv^ate lots. The length of all the pai'hs throughout the 
Cemetery is over 17 miles, and there are 20 miles of stone bedded avenues. 
The water comes from the Brooklyn City Water Works, r(uniing through 
four miles of pipe, and supplied for all purposes of irrigation and drinking 
through 57 hydrants. There are eight lakes of varying dimensions, in four 
of Avhich are fountains, fed from a reservoir on Fountain Hill. There are 
Vo\ miles of subterranean sewer pipes, connecting with 1140 receiving 
basins. Entire number of monmiients and head-stones, 4.5,283. Of this num-

ground, 30. Number of Vaults in side hill, 237. Number of Vaults under 
ground, 325. Total, 592. Tlie cost of the monuments and vaults could only 
beexpressed by millions. In addition to the above list of vaults is the '" Mauso- 
leum,'" "which iu'.'ludes thirty under-ground vaults, also two Receiving Tombs, 
one of Avhich includes forty separate vaults, making the total number of vaults 
6(33. Among the many objects, the following are of special interest : 

The Northern Gate. — Aline massive stone building at the main entrance 
to the Cemetery, built of New Jersey free stone ; the length is 132 feet, depth 
40 feet, and the central pinnacle is 106 feet high. The recesses ab<n-e the 
gateways are filled in on both sides with groups of sculpture, representing 
"Our Saviour's Entombment," '"The Resurrection," ''The Raising of the 
Wido\v's Son,'' and '■ The Raising of Lazarus." The Sculptured groups arc 
by John M. Mottitt. Iti the central tower is contained a bell, whose solemn 
tone has heralded the approach of thousands of tenants to their last abode. 

In the left Aving of tiie Gateway is the entrance for pedestrian visitors : 
the opposite wing contains the Business Offices of the Cemetery, Avhere all 
necessaiy infoi-mation can be obtained regardhig the purchase and location 
of Lots, and the finding of the last resting-place of all, even the most humble, 
who may be buried there. 

Receiving Tomb at Arbor Water, which is capable of liolding fifteen 
hundred bodies. 

Monument erected to commemorate John Matthews, at the southwest- 
erly end of Valley Water. Upon a richly sculptured sarcophagus lies the 
full length recumbent statue of the deceased. Above this rises a canopy and 
spire of richly decorated stone to the height of 36 feet, resting upon a tablet 
of sculptured mai'ble, the lower side or ceiling of which is carved, represent- 
ing Mr. Matthews at the age of 21 years leaving England for America. On 
the tablet under the canopy is a veiled figure seated -n a i-ichly carved chair, 
typifying grief; surmounting the angles of the tablet ai'e four grotesque gar- 
goyles or monstei's, with open mouths, through which the I'ain water falling 
upon the roof is discharged. The monument was designed and executed by 
Professor Carl Muller at a cost of nearly $30,000. 

Monument and bronze bust of Horace Greeley on Locust Hill, near Ojik 
avenue, erected by the printers of this country. On the eastern or front fae-c 
of the pedestal is a bronze bas-relief, i-e[)resenting the youthful C4reeley, coni- 
})osm^ stick in hand, at his case ; on the north j)anel is arude jilow, and vu the 
opposite side a pen and scroll, botn emblems cut in relief from the granite.

be reached Prospect Park, distant about half a mile. The building on 
the left as you enter is the residence of the gate-keeper ; that on the right 
is for the use of visitors, and posesses all desirable conveniences. The 
general waiting-room is worthy of particular notice on account of the 
richness and cliasteness of its construction and decorations. Over the 
porches are representations in stone of the four ages, our infancy, youth, 
manhood, and old age, executed by Mr. John M. Moffitt. 

The Marble Temple of A. S. Scribner, at the junction of Yine and 
Cyprus avenues. It was executed in Italy, and contains the figure Hope, 
under a canopy of marble, supported by eight pillars ; an octagonal base 
supports the figure, and on its sides in alabaster marble, are bas-reliefs, il- 
lustrative of the life of Christ, from his birth to his ascension. The large 
granite monument erected to the memory of Thomas T. Kead is on the 
opposite corner. 

Slatue of Captain John Correja, Yista avenue. It is generally 
known as the "Sea Captain's," was erected several years before he died, 
and was an excellent likeness. It is understood that the sextant which 
the figure holds in its hands, taking an observation, is the same which the 
captain used while in active service. 

The Charlotte Cauda monument at the intersection of Eern and 
Greenbough avenues. Miss Cauda lost her life on the evening of the 
third day of February, 1845, her 17th birthday, by being thrown from a

branches of the armj'' service. A bas-relief represents an officer standing 
by his horse, taking leave of his wife and child. A second exhibits a 
severe conflict. A third shows the officer to be wounded, attended by a 
faithful negro, while another officer is engaged in dressing his wounds, 
a private standing by. A fourth shows the grave designated by the ne- 
gro to the wife and child.

The location is on high, sandy ground, that is well wooded and shad- 
ed, close to Cypress Hills Cemetery. 

The laws of the Machpela Cemetery- Association require every lot owner 
to erect stone posts at the boundaries of his purchase and to keep his lot in 
constant good order. 

These laws are strictly enforced and the grounds in consequence always 
have a bright and attractive appearance. 

Although owned by Jews, Machpela is open to all who conform to the 
laws of the Cemetery Association. Thei-e is no restriction on account of 
religious faith. 

The following are the officers of the Association.

One of the smaller rural burial places of the metropolis, was opened 
about twenty-four years ago by the TliirdKeformed Presbyterian Church 
Society, who now worship on 23d street, between Seventh and Eighth 
Avenues. The Legislature of the State granted a Charter to the Incor- 

E orators, who transferred the ground to the custody of Trustees, to be 
eld in trust and managed by the lot owners. It is a Protestant Ceme- 
tery and no Catholics or Jews are buried v/ithin its precincts. 

SIZE a:N^D LOCAnOK 

The grounds comprise ten acres of land located near New Durham, 
ISTe^^" Jersey, on the east side of the Hackensack Turnpike, a little over a 
•»- \, from the western terminus of the 42d street, (N. Y.) ferry. They 
read oyer a side hill that rises regularly and gradually from the west 
gate, which is the only entrance. The soil is sandy and on account of its 
formation well drained and dry. 

About one-half of the Cemetery is laid out and the lots are nearly all 
sold. The price of a desirable lot, 10x16 feet, is forty dollars. This Cem- 
etery is in a prosperous condition. The annual expenditure for repairs 
and adornment is about $1,000. A keeper resides on the premises. 

While Machpelah Cemetery makes no pretensions to stylish appear- 
ance or tasteful effect, it is very highly regarded hj a great number of 
people as a choice and quiet resting place for their dead. The interments 
number about 15,000, and many pretty monuments are to be seen. 

HOW TO EEACH IT. 

Funerals generally go over the 42d Street ferry, but large numbers 
go over the Barclay or Christopher Street ferries, and take street cars at 
the Hoboken landing. 

The Midland R. R. of New Jersey, (depot foot of Liberty Street^ 
New York,) has a station within thee blocks of the Cemetery.

Union Dime Savings Bank Building. 



The Maple Grove Cemetery Association was organized in February 
1875, for the purpose of laying out and constructing an appropriate and 
beautiful burial place for the dead, in which lots might be sold at a com- 
paratively low price. 

This Cemetery is far enough from the city to render it safe from en- 
croachment, while at the same time its excellent means of communication 
render it nearer to New York in point of time than some of the older 
cemeteries. 

The improvements made at Maple Grove have been under the direc- 
tion of the best engineering talent procurable, and every step has had for 
its object the making of one of the most beautiful burial places in the 
neighborhood of New York. 

LOCATION. 

Maple Grove Cemetery is situated on Long Island, about six and one- 
half miles from the East River, and two miles west from the village of 
Jamaica on the range of hills known as the "Backbone." The grounds 
are from 100 to 150 feet above tide water, well wooded, and of a greatly 
diversified character. 

They at present comprise about eighty acres of land. The first inter- 
ment was made February 12th. 1876, and 22 more were added during that 
year. During theyear 188G the number of interments was 202, making 
tlie total number 867. At the Western Entrance is a new stone lodge 
house containing Superintendent's office and waiting rooms for vis- 
itors and funeral parties. Facilities for holding funeral services are 
afforded those who desire it in this building. From this entrance to Ma- 
ple Grove Station, on the Long Island Railroad, is a broad avenue, with 
a lawn sixty feet wide on either side, ornamented with maple and ever- 
green trees. 

A new avenue (Letfertt's) has been opened from Maple Grove Sta- 
tion through the Richmond Hill i)roperty, thus making a great improve- 
ment in the approach to the Cemetery from Metropolitan Avenue (N. 2d 
St., E. D.) and the other routes from Brooklyn and the lower East Riv- 
er ferries. 



M Ceineieries of .Keiv 1 orh. 

ROUTES TO THE CEMETERY. 

By Carriage. 

The Main Entrance is on tlie Hoffman Boulevard, which is, in con- 
nection with Thompson Ave. from Newtown, a very direct route to Long 
IslandCity and the 84th Street ferry. By this route one hour is ample 
time for carriages to reach the Cemetery from the ferry. Good roads 
from lOth Street, 23d Street, and 92d Street ferries load directly into the 
Hoffman Boulevard. Funerals crossing Grand Street or Houston Street 
ferries will find the Metropolitan Avenue (N. 2d Street, E. D.), a good 
macadamized road. The approach to the Cemetery by this route and the 
other avenues leading from Brookhm is by way of the Western Entrance. 

By Railroad. 

Many funeral parties i:)refer to go by the Long Island Railroad. The 
Association have provided a hearse, which will be in waiting at the de- 
pot when notice is given that it is required. This mode of transit es- 
pecially during inclement weather, will be found more comfortable and 
less fatiguing than by carriage. The cost of funerals may, in this man- 
ner, be materially diminished, particularly in case of burials by societies 
with large attendance. The Western Entrance is but a few steps from 
Maple Grove Station, on the mainline of the Long Island Railroad. 

The route to Maple Grove by the cars is a very pleasant and quick 
one for A^sitors and funeral parties from the citj-, the schedule time being 
fifteen minutes fi-om Long Island CMj. Regular trains stop daily at con- 
venient hours to accommodate Aisitors and funeral parties. Special 
trains going and returning at pleasure can be had if desired. It is expect- 
ed this route to the Cemetery will grow in favor as the number of lot 
owners increase. 

The Pine Street annex boat to Long Island City will C(mtinue as 
heretofore, making four regular ferries from New Tork to Long Island 
City to connect with trains, viz : James Slip (Chambers Street), Seventh 
Street, and Thirty-fourth Street ferries. Richmond Hill Station, on the 
Montauk division of the Long Island Railroad, is about fifteen minutes 
walk from the Western Entrance, which gives the Cemeterj^ the advan- 
tage of access by two railroads. 

LONG ISLAND RAILROAD CHARGES. 

Single faro from Long Island City to Maple Grove, 20c. To Maple 
Grove and return, 35e. Eor remains to Maple Grove, (double fare) ^c. 
For special car attached to any regular train stopping at Maple Grove, 
and return^ $15. For special train, consisting of locomotive and one 
passenger car, going and returning at pleasure, $25. For each additional 
car to special train, $12,50.

take place under certain restrictions. 

Some valuable and handsome monuments have been erected over the 
vaults, but they are not particularly^ interesting. 

The Cemetery is enclosed with an iron railing on the Second Street

Is an attractive suburban burial place, very accessible to New York. 

ITS LOCATION. 

It is situated at Maspeth, Long Island, distant 3-^ miles from the East 
River ferries, and comprises a plot of ground containing about 60 acres, now 
actually in use, and intersected by roads and paths. 

This Cemetery was incorporated and opened in 1850, and is now held 
in much repute as a quiet resting place for the dead. It is well shaded and 
has on it many rare and fine trees ; surface undulating with occasional 
stretches of lawn, tastefully laid out. The drives and walks are Avell cared 
for, and replete with shrubbery and flowering plants. The owners of lots 
keep their enclosures in a creditable state of attractiveness. 

The main entrance is on Grand Street, where a handsome Cottage Lodge 
in the Queen Anne style of architecture, provided with office and reception 
rooms, with all necessary conveniences have lately been erected. From time 
to time eligible aud valuable tracts of land have been added for Cemetery 
uses to Mount Olivet, and more land will be annexed when required. 

The size of the average full lot is 18x22 feet, with border of two feet be- 
tween adjoining lots. The prices average from ^150 to 1250, with a few 
choice locations at a higher figure, the price depending on location. Smaller 
lots at relatively cheaper prices; terms being arranged to suit the purchaser. 
The prices of single graves in the public lots are $12 for adults, and $8,50 
for children. A Receiving Tomb specially designed as a temporary deposit 
for the accommodation of those who intend to purchase lots, and to afford 
time for making selections, is provided within the Cemetery. This building 
IS a large and very substantial structure, and the interior is fitted with com- 
partments and shelves to keep each coffin separate from all others. About 
3,000 interments have been made in the Cemetery, and about 350 plots have 
been disposed of to families and individuals. Numei'ous monuments and

otlier monumental structures and improvements have been erected bj the 
proprietors of lots, and a few hillside vaults have been constructed. 

The situation of Mount Olivet is high and some of the eminences com- 
mand extensive and very beautiful views of the surrounding country, and 
embrace a prospect of the cities of New York and Brooklyn. The soil is dry 
and well adapted to the use for which it is reserved, and to which, for all 
time to come, it has been sacredly devoted. 

To its many advantages of location and soil, and its natural beauty in 
woodland, lawn and lake, intelligent handling has added an artistic pictur- 
esqueness which the atmosphere of repose pervading the silent grounds 
makes unusually pleasing. 

Visitors to the Cemetery, and churches, societies, families and individ- 
uals desirous of purchasing areas of ground or plots, will receive all needed 
information on applying at the office, where persons will be in attendance to 
shoAV them over the grounds, and render any other aid to parties desiring to 
purchase.

This is the largest Protestant burying ground for Jersej' City and 
suburbs, and is much patronized by New !f orkers. It is about 2V miles 
from .Jersey City, and is bounded by Ocean Avenue on the North, on 
tne East aiid West by fertile tields, and on the South by New York Bay. 

It comprises one hundred acres of land, located on a plain, gently

moved from distracting noises. Through the middle of the Cemetery 
runs Chapel Avenue, shaded on each side by rows of large elms and ma- 
ples. The Superintendent's office stands in the middle of the grounds. 

This Cemetery has been in use since 1849 and hence may be called 
one of the oldest burial places in the vicinity of the Metropolis. 

The reputation of New York Bay as a quiet, well guarded resting 
place is well known. About three years ago, some of the wealthiest and 
most honored residents of Jersey City, accepted positions as Trustees, 
and infused new life and enterprise into the affairs of the corporation. 

The place is now in a flourishing condition, and great interest is taken 
in its improvement. A xavy large number of lots are owned by corpora- 
tions, societies, lodges and charitable bodies. The Cunard, Inman and 
Anchor Steamship'companies each own a plot. There have beeji •42.000

Trinity Church was commenced in 1696. It was a small, square build- 
ing, standing on the present site ( Broadway at the head of Wall JStreet), and 
built in the Gothic style of Architecture. It was erected by yoluntarj conti'i- 
butions and completed and dedicated by Rev. Dr. Vesey, on February 6th, 
1697. 

The Governor and royal dignitaries attended divine worship therein. 

The Chui'ch was enlarged in 1735 and 1737; destroyed by fire in the 
great conflagration of 1776 ; rebuilt in 1788 and this buifdnig being deemed 
insecure, it was demolished in 1839 to make room for the present magnificent 
edifice which was completed and consecrated May 21st, 1846. 

It is 90 feet long, 80 feet wide and 287 feet high. Visitors are pei'mitted 
to climb 308 steps or 198 feet high, where a fine view of Ne\v York can be had. 

The salary of the Rector is 112.000 per annum, also a splendid Rectory. 
The income of the Church is over $500,000 a year. 

In the graveyard surrounding Trinity Church many renowned fitizens 
of New York rest. The Martyrs' Monument was erected over the bones of 
Revolutionary Prisoners that died in the old prison ships, the provost prison 
and other points in New York. Charlotte Temple's grave is marked by a 
large bix)wn tomb-stone lying upon the surface of the ground. Charlotte 
Temple was an English girl, who lived a romantic life and died in distress 
in New York. Near the side entrance of the church, on the Northern side, is 
the grave of William Bradford, who published the "New York Gazette,'" 
the first newspaper ever published in New York. He died in 17.52, aged 92 
years. He was an intimate friend of Benjamin Franklin. Tlie following 
lines are on the foot of the Bradford slab. 

''Reader, reflect how soon you'll quit this stage; 
You'll find but few" attain to such an age. 
Life's lull of pain, Lo ! here's a Place of Rest ; 
Prepare to meet your God, then you are blest.'' 

The remains of several Huguenots who fled from France after Saint 
Bartholomew's Day, are interred in Trinity. 

South of the Church is a Mausoleum, erected to the memory of Captain 
Lawrence and Lieutenant Ludlow of the Frigate Chesapeake, who lost their 
lives in the naval battle with the British Sloop Shannon, May, 1813.

within the Cemetery inclosure. 

The Cemetery is kept in excellent order. The grounds are ample, beau- 
tifal, and in natural beauty and artificial embellishments, most perfectly 
adapted for a " Silent City."' 

To those who take a pleasure in resorting to sacred spots of that kind, 
we say that Woodlawn is well worth a visit of inspection. There is much 
To see that is pleasing and instructive. 

SIZE AND LOCATION. 

Woodlawn Cemetery contains 400 acres of land, a part only of which 
(about 100 acres) is laid out and finished. The grounds are elevated, dry 
and undulating, and their adaptation to the purpose for which they are de- 
voted is unsurpassed. Several artificial lakes have been constructed, and 
great numbers of choice trees and shrubs have been planted. 

About the finest specimen of monumental architecture in Woodlawm, are 
the Westerly granite monuments of Ex-Mayor William F. Havemeyer and 
James M. Cross, Esq. The former is nine feet square at the base, and bears 
in high relief the family name. Upon a shield projecting from the mould, is 
a wreath of olive and oak. Above the massive shaft is an ornate cap^ sur-

This novel and beautiful "City of the Dead," is situated near Spar- 
kill, State of N"ew York, one hour's run by rail from Jersey City ; and is 
laid out with all the tasteful accompaniments and drives of a modern 
park. The natural and striking features of the place; its splendid forest 
verdure, cedars, pines, hemlocks, etc., and lovely glens and plateaus, are 
not excelled probably in exquisite beauty, by anything of the same gr 
like extent in the entire Union. 

Under a charter granted by the legislature of New York, thirty-eight 
years ago, it became a pretty rural Cemetery, appropriated until recently 
mainly to the wants of the rural population adjoining, along with those of 
the surrounding villages. Only a small space was thus used ; but of late, 
several wealthy and appreciative gentlemen, struck with the rare loveli- 
ness of the place, have taken it in hand for lots for themselves and fami- 
lies, and by the employment of a capable landscape gardener and engineer 
and a large force of laborers, have made this mountain-side retreat, a 
place of so many charms, that few if any parks in the whole land can even 
now be found as its equal. 

But to set forth its most striking and attractive characteristics, we 
propose to briefly summarise these, so that they may be comprehended 
almost at a glance by the community at large^ 



Ceineteries of Jfew York. 31 

First. — The situation for natural beauty is a very remarkable one ; 
having the Palisades of the Hudson, and the broad waters of the Tappan 
Zee on one side, and the charming valley of the Sparkill on the other. 

Second. — It is a mountain slope, facing to the south and divided into four 
plateaus, from all of which are presented landscape views so extended 
and remarkable for their beauty and historical interest, as once seen? 
never to be forgotten. 

Third. — This Park Cemetery is so situated, topographically, as to insure 
absolute immunity from all future disturbance of the remains of those en- 
trusted to its keeping ; since no dread need ever be entertained of its be- 
ing invaded for any purpose whatever, by the restless and reckless march 
of modern progress. 

Fourth. — By calling to aid modem and growing usage, and the advanta- 
ges of the railroad, Kockland Cemetery is reached with greater expedition 
and less inconvenience, than any other large Cemeterj^ adjoining the 
Great City. 

Fifth. — In an economical point of view, particularly, it is desirable, be- 
cause the most beautiful and choice resting places for the dead, can now 
be had in this rare locality, for from one-third to one-tenth of those pro- 
curable in some of our large cemeteries. 

Sixth. — The well known high character of the gentlemen who have un- 
dertaken the objects above set forth, affords the surest possible guaranty, 
that nothing whatever will be wanting in going forward and completing 
the magnificent programme determined upon by them, and which prom- 
ises to make this one of the most beautiful and convenient park Cemeter- 
ies known. 



S^ Cemeteries of J\(eiv Yorh. 

Seventh. — Lots thus held are inalienable, and the only real estate invest- 
ments that cannot be interfered with from any cause ; they are not tax- 
able, and their preservation and beauty for all time to come, will be as- 
sured by permanent funds provided for that purpose. 

DIRECTORY AND SUGGESTIVE. 

Improved methods of conducting inexpensive funerals suggest: — 
that the religious services for the dead of the Great City can be conduct- 
ed at the home of the deceased ; visitors arriving there by whatever pub- 
lic or private conveyance — horse car or carriage— maj^ be most conven- 
ient; that these services ended, the clergyman can announce the fact, 
leaving the family — usually at such a time a grateful procedure — to 
themselves alone. Then an hour or so later the city undertaker can make 
his appearance with the hearse and one or two carriages, the little cor- 
tege can readily make its way through the crowded streets to the starting 
point by rail, when an hour's run carries them to Sparkill, to meet the 
Park undertaker with one or two carriages, when all proceed to the Cem- 
etery, a short distance froin the station, and quietly complete the inter- 
ment. In view of all this, who will not say that it is an improvement on 
former expensive and tedious ceremonials and usages, where the long 
and costly procession was compelled to contend for hours for a way 
through the crowded streets to convey the dead to their last home; who 
will not be ready to admit that the methods above suggested are much 
more in consonance with the feelings of the bereaved, whose most press- 
ing requirements at such a time miist be the opportunity to indulge their 
sorrow and suffering, untroubled by the obtrusion of others not in 
sympathy. with them.

Ueiallic Burial Case C 

Olct COR. SEW BOWERY & EEAMBEES ST. 

WESTESN DEPOT, 73 FIFTH AVENUE, CHICAGO, 
To owners of Vaults & Cemetery Lots. 

The Metallic Burial Cases Manufactured by this Comps 
are reliable because they are made of Metal and EiiameJ 
with Paint and Yarnish baked on, and so closely iinita;^; 
Eose-wood and Mahogany as not to be distinguished byj 
eye; or they are covered with black cloth and velvet hi 
somely draped. ] 

Thirty years experience has proved their durability, i 
an innumerable number of testimonials attest to the pre! 
vation of the remains of those enclosed. 

It is the cleanest receptacle for the dead known, as 
min cannot get in, nor can corruption or decomposition i 
place when Sealed air tight. They are thus a proteci 
against the spread of diseases and are strongly recomm^ 
ed b}^ the Boards of Health in all the large cities. 

All Owners of Yaults should in every case use ( 
Metallic Cases, and the complete and prop>er care for our 
ed ones after death is to place them in one of these beau 
Cases. Call at the office of the Company and see the gi 
and get a descriptive Catalogue. , 

Metallic Burial Cases can be procured from the be^ 
dertakers in every part of the United States, ^
